I swear their comments basically make this place Facebook.
I'm fully convinced they're suffering from some level of lead poisoning.
The thought of considering another POV/angle on an issue is so foreign the them. That instead of taking the time to understand at a 3rd grade level what the issues are today weight as well be explaining doctorate level astrophysics.
For those of you 50+ that can understand how the messages said by the CEO were so off and outside the norm of leadership , especially at a CEO level, thank you.
For those of you 50+ who defaulted to calling people cry babies, saying we don't work hard, we should work to strengthen the company, I'm glad you have the least amount of time left at this, and every other company out there.
You have the least amount of time out of anyone. I would advocate for maybe considering other perspectives but it doesn't matter. If you're complacent living your life like that and want to be miserable / make those around you feel the same way, at least do it in a way where maybe you can convince others that you have a medical condition that makes you act that way, give your friends and family an out when they have to explain your behavior.
Keep thinking the CEO/Board of Directors/Managers care about you. I've had coworkers with 20+ years get laid off.
Just prepare for the if/when you get laid off you go through the pain of applying for modern jobs bring. And because of your age you'll get denied at a higher rate than my generation. But it's okay just walk right into the job you want and ask to talk to the manager right ?
It doesn't matter for that generation. It's like talking to a wall. An angry, bloaty, maybe at best have 15 years left to live and choose to worship a CEO wall.
